where should i run my idle for 1st gear..... everytime i throw it up and get beyond balance point my bike just sort of dieas out and drops down..... just wondering what you guys are runnin your idle at....

 

no clocks so dont know figures, just put it up to about 3000/3500 to learn with and drop it down a bit when you get used to it. i tihnk mines about 3000 and it does okay.

 

with a stock cable, it'll go to about 3300... and it's dropping down cuz either u're not far enough back, or u're raping the brake like u do on the fifty, watch out tho, brake fade can kill.

 

**** it went out behind my house and figured it out on my own already.... thanks for the info tho...

 

be REAL light on the brake.
youll get it, learning idle takes a lot of time.

 

^ if u're a cripple

 

Took me a couple of months to get my idle on lock where I could start learning no handers. But then again, I only ride 4 times a month. By 5:30 it's already 35 degrees out up here and it's just annoying riding when it's that cold. Once it's warm again and daylight savings is passed I can ride almost every night. Wish I lived in AZ so I could ride almost every night.

And since Crtch is *****ing below this post... you should try setting your idle around 3ish and just focus on small inputs on the rear brake. The more you mash the rear brake the harder it is to get the bike balanced and you'll have to use more throttle inputs to keep it upright.

 

^ that post was useless to the thread, if you wanted to b|tch about something call that whale at the company out here

 

P.S... the person above me is a useless whale himself. I would be disgruntled and hate life if I worked at WAMU and had a GF that leaves me at gas stations.

 

oh u son of a b|tch!!

 

wait what

 

i'll get into it another time

 

you saying im a cripple?
my surgically repaired bones work fine!

 

Crtch you work for WAMU, no wonder your always pissed. Those fckers are so ****, i had to do an rfp for them when consulting for a client, it was like 150pages long...That explains a lot!! However I think were all interested in the gas station story!!!

 

haha yeah, i hate this place so much...

ok, i day drank, heard this kid was goin to my buddies house, and i've been waitin to beat his *** for like 2 years.. so i tell my gf to drop me off there, she gets mad, we yell, i am balligerant, she leaves me at a gas station, buddy picks me up, i ended up hitting a kid with a bottle, then around 4am kicked my own front door in...

 

ive done that once...

 

omg that sounds like fun

 

yeah, was a bad idea. kinda funny when i look back at it. i found a peice of the chain on the ground as i was leavin for work haha

 

you've seen me hammered, i can get dumb. i stopped drinking during the week, so just like friday nights now.. and i try to make up for lost time, and just get outta control.

 

last time i got hammerd i stuck like 2 bottles in every corner of my friend andys kitchen, you know when they stick to the walls like bottle caps.. well after like 10 bottles on the walls and 50 bottle caps i hit one of the walls hard in the kitchen and everything falls off the walls and breaks. that was my most violent moment in along time. pretty stupid but funny as ****
